In Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave” Socrates tells a story to his student Gloucun to explain him and us that cognition require a lot of effort to learn and understand many things. In cave where did not come sun’s light was resided enchained people. They have been there since their childhood. Behind them, so far of them was flaming a fire. Between them and the fire is wall where some people passing and carrying different things. Those people were moving, speaking that those words spread upon cave in misrepresented type. Prisoners’ legs and necks chained so that they couldn’t move or turn their heads. They could see only the front of them, where they could see shadows of the figures that were passing on beside them. They didn’t know about other world, Sun’s light, and freedom. They believed that that echo and shadows on the wall were reality.Such events usually occur in our life. Sometime we believe in events which somebody tries to intrude his or her views. Despite these views are wrong. Also in our lives, we frequently believe in usual things, and don’t want to believe uncommon events because we get used to them.
Once one of prisoners liberated of chain and he found out exit of that underground when he overcome all difficulties. His eyes dazzled by daylight and it caused him a lot of sufferings and pain. Then, gradually he adapted and wondered to see real world, the stars, and the sun. He was so happy to see real world. He wanted to help his friends and decided to go back in cave.
However, when he reached the cave, he couldn’t see at dark. Prisoners said that he became madman after he had left the cave. Also, he became blind and lost his mind. When he tried to persuade them to liberate of chain and go to up, they didn’t believe him and finally they killed him.

I Know the Truth, So Don’t Bother Me with Facts
In article “I know the truth, so don’t bother me with facts” Jeffrey Kluger explains how primal rumors effect on people’s beliefs. The author mentioned about two professors’ study which determines how people strongly believe in their beliefs. In addition, they don’t want to change their primary opinion even if they have learned a lot of facts. Some of them don’t want change the mind because of their personalities, and them so hard to admit that they were wrong. At the end, Jeffrey Kluger said that no matter what the all studies show us, everything up to us. Only we have to make our decisions. Nevertheless, we can always be ready to admit that that idea is not real. I know Jeffrey Kluger is right when he states “I know the truth, so don’t bother me with facts” because primal rumors strongly effect on people’s beliefs and it’s more important than others opinion, many of people can’t change their mind because of their ego, some beliefs obtrude to people from psychological pressure.
I’ve heard many times that primal rumor play an important role in human belief. Usually, people believe in primal rumor more even it would be wrong than the others. For instance, recently story that occurred with Dominique Strauss-Kahn who was accused in the attempt to rape chambermaid. This story was got around all over the world. Almost anybody believed what was said on the television, in the newspapers, radio, and internet. People disgusted to him. At that time, he lost the power and his high position because people didn’t believe him more. They believed the primal humor. Even, when he was justified these people continued to consider him a dastard. It story show us that people who have believed in primal humor, don’t want to believe any other facts.
Most people don’t want change their mind because they are afraid to admit mistakes. The reason is ego. I seem that people who have unstable self-rating about themselves more often don’t admit their mistakes. So, it requires the confirmation from other side. For instance, many years ago my friend’s mom separated her daughter with her love man, who wanted to marry at her. At that time, her daughter was young and she didn’t resist mom’s decision. Passed 2o years, she was got married a few times, but she has never been happy with her domesticity. I know, her mom admit her mistake inside herself, but she doesn’t want say about it her daughter because she afraid to look mistaken and become non-authoritative person front the daughter. Also, sometime I can observe that people who work in government never admit their mistakes. I think them afraid that their mistakes go into history, and they don’t want to disserve historical belief about their impeccability. This is also because of ego.
Sometime, some beliefs were obtruded to people by someone or something. Something is physiological pressure. I remember the time when I grew up in the ex-Soviet Union. That time that government conducted lectures and implanted to people about atheism. Atheism is belief that there no God. Many people, who were oldest than me, learned that study in colleges and Universities. That theory is so sink into their mind that some people still atheists or don’t believe in God. Opposite, other people, who were born in Russian monarchy, had kept in their minds their belief in God. Nevertheless difficult situation regarding faithful people at that time, they had left with belief in God. That leadership of country took strong rules about these people. They were persecuted, defamed and also killed. However, they stayed faithful in their belief. It also confirm that people won’t change their points despite of any difficult position and situation.
In conclusion, I agree that primal rumor is thing that create main point of view. Most of the people cannot admit their mistakes because of ego. And once people believe in something, they never make change their beliefs. I learn from this article that people should not look like people from cave. We differ from those people, that we free and we can do everything what we want, we have more opportunities do not be like them.

The article “Hype” by Kalle Lasn said us about huge number of advertisements which accepted everywhere. People can see them anywhere even if they want to keep their eyes to rest. Ad is the most reasoned mover for marketing. In addition, nobody can avoid any ad because it is so widespread.Thus, advertisements are prevalent and people force to see them unwittingly. Kall Lasn is right when she states that huge number of advertmisements influence to people especially most of ads have been affecting to children's minds, ad is necesserary thing for market, and how free shows introduce new products to market.
Most of ads have been influencing to children minds. Once, the child has seen one interesting ad he usually tries to ask parents to buy it. For instance, one of my neighbor’s son likes to watch TV where he can see many new ads during some interesting movies, cartoons, or shows. When he’s seen them, he always wants to get them because these advertisements occupy at child’s mind.
Nowadays, advertisement is the most an important thing for the market. The market increases their sale with advertisements. We see prevalent ads everywhere that help us to find them in market. Usually, when my friend saw or heard interesting ad or commercial, she starts to buy it to herself, and also she gives advice to me or other friends to try it on, or to taste it. Thus, commercial which have been heard by friend can advance the product and high level sale.
Also, some companies arrange free shows for offering commercial products for buyers. I remember few years ago, one well-know company created new therapeutic bed that helps people to treat many diseases. However, this bed was so expensive. People would not able to spend money if they didn’t have proved information about it. The bed company offered to people to use them for free in their special places for few months. After few months many people believed in the miracle of these beds and they started to buy them. This story also said us that commercial is helpful thing for manufacturers and for buyers.
In short, advertisement or commercial plays a big role in our lives. These things will able to increase purchases and to push forward just creating products.
